Getting Nervous As Surgery Day Approaches

[Togunrinde 36]

Hello all! As some of you know, my surgery is THIS MONDAY on the 7th. Up until now, I haven't really been worried or nervous. But now as the date creeps closer I'm freaking out and starting to panic. Worried that I haven't lost enough during preop (even though I wasn't told I absolutely had to lose anything), worried about possible complications, etc. I've been binge reading reviews from other people who have done surgery in Mexico, but it's not helping at all. Any words of encouragement would definitely be appreciated!

If you weren't nervous you wouldn't be normal We all have that fear of the unknown and worse case scenario!! I promise you'll come home and be happy it's over.. and onto a better healthier life.. I had a really complicated surgery, and losts of recovery issues (I was revised from band to sleeve with a TON of scar tissue...) and I would still do it again!

It is absolutely normal to be scared! I was so nervous the day before i didnt sleep at all! The first few days are rough and you will find yourself wondering why you did this but this will pass and one month down the road you will know you made the right choice once the scale starts on a downward spiral!!! im 6 months out and have lost a 100 pounds and would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat!! Good luck on your journey!!! you will be great!

I'm having the same procedure done in Juarez on the 12th. I completely understand your nervousness, but you will be fine! Just think, by this time next year you'll be feeling amazing and living your best life.

Had my sleeve 2 days ago, I'm sitting in my hospital room waiting to be discharged. I was similarly worried, I'm a little sore but everything turned out fine. Good luck.
